During a conversation with reporters aboard Air Force One, a sharp exchange unfolded regarding alleged fraudulent activity originating from Minnesota. The former President launched into a forceful critique, centering on what he described as a widespread scheme defrauding both the state and federal government of billions of dollars.
He directly challenged the leadership of Minnesota’s governor, characterizing him as “very stupid” and “corrupt,” and asserted a personal history of political opposition. The core of his argument focused on the alleged financial impact of individuals he identified as originating from Somalia, claiming the fraud amounted to at least $19 billion – a figure he suggested could be significantly higher.
The discussion then shifted to the broader geopolitical context of Somalia itself. He painted a picture of a nation lacking fundamental structures – government, military, and economic stability – and characterized its inhabitants as engaging in criminal activities, specifically referencing historical instances of piracy. He claimed to have effectively neutralized this threat through decisive action, utilizing the same missile technology employed against vessels involved in drug trafficking.
The former President’s criticism extended to a specific member of Congress, accusing her of being a “total crook” and a key figure in the alleged fraud. He called for her deportation, reiterating the substantial financial losses he attributed to individuals connected to Somalia. He insisted the scale of the theft was far-reaching, impacting not only Minnesota but the entire United States.
He further asserted that the federal government would no longer shoulder the financial burden of this alleged fraud, placing the responsibility squarely on the shoulders of Minnesota’s governor. This sentiment was then broadened to include criticism of other state governors, framing them as fiscally irresponsible.
The conversation revisited the issue of Somali piracy, detailing a strategy of swift and decisive intervention. He described a system where potential pirate attacks were immediately met with force, effectively deterring further incidents and restoring confidence in the shipping industry. He emphasized this approach extended beyond American interests, offering protection to vessels worldwide.
Returning to the allegations of fraud, he again singled out the congresswoman, repeating accusations of criminal activity and demanding her removal from the country. He maintained that the financial losses were substantial and that the current situation was unsustainable, requiring immediate and forceful action.
He concluded by reiterating his claim that a significant portion of the fraud originated with individuals who had entered the country illegally from Somalia, and leveled harsh personal attacks, questioning her background and character. He once more called for the immediate repatriation of those he accused of exploiting the American system.
